[quote=Anonymous]This happened to a friend of mine. Mentally unstable (as later came out in the investigation) childcare provider made false accusations of abuse against multiple families. In the end my friend's children were not removed, but my friend believes it was only because they were able to hire a very expensive lawyer and because the accuser was mentally unstable enough and accused enough people that she was suspect.

It was very, very traumatic. My friend got PTSD, and moved away. The investigation record never goes away even with a false accusation that is technically closed, so they live in constant fear of another false report. They won't use any childcare, and are homeschooling.

Watching from the sidelines, I flat-out don't trust CPS at this point. They were shockingly eager to go to removal over very shoddy evidence. I firmly believe there are many poorer kids whose families could not afford lawyers who have had their children separated unfairly and wrongly.

I don't know what the right answer is. But I suspect that a lot of families have been totally traumatized by this. [/quote]
